THE REAL (ESTATE) STORY
By Larry Underhill
Owner/Broker

ONCE MORE FROM THE TOP…We congratulated John and Fabiana Simmons on their recent home purchase a few weeks back. Now their previous home has closed, so it’s congratulations all over again! Happy day. A Thank You to veteran Lodi Realtor Denise Arbios for her role as Buyer’s agent in this deal. Always a pleasure, Denise!
THERE ARE A HANDFUL of top-producing Realtors with whom I always enjoy working, many of whom I’ve worked with for years (in some cases over TWENTY years). They always tell the truth, they hold up their end of the transaction, and they truly care about their clients. Denise is on this short list!
NEW LISTING! 18563 Ironstone in Woodbridge’s desirable Wine Country community is a value at $545,000! Back in the late ‘80’s and early ‘90’s, I helped Allen Valla market Wine Country. The Bordeau floorplan (this plan) was the most popular plan. That’s still the case today. 2281 square feet of charming two-story home with imported "Porcelosa" porcelain Italian floor tile! Three bedrooms, two and a half baths, wet bar, indoor Laundry Room, separate Living and Family Rooms, Formal Dining Room, covered patio, and much more! Call for a private showing.
CONGRATULATIONS also to Jake and Misty Arbuckle on their purchase of a nice Westside Lodi home! They’re excited. I’d congratulate the Seller and the other agent too, but since it was meself I think I’ll refrain! I don’t do this often, but I worked out a lease with option to buy with Jake and Misty last year. This year, they exercised their option and turned from renters into owners! Happy beginnings for them, and happy 1031 exchange for Julie and me as we roll the money into another rental or two. (I believe in real estate! They ain’t makin’ any more of it!)
ANOTHER PEEK at 2177 Eaton Drive: FIVE bedrooms! THREE full baths! THREE-car garage! Nicely landscaped back yard with upscale above-ground filtered POOL! Price? $579,950.
MY FRIEND and trusty right-hand Assistant Greg Adams does an excellent job of keeping me on track, all the while managing my listings and escrows. The guy’s GOOD! He does have a weakness for dumb jokes, however. Sample:
Q: Who was the greatest comedian in the Bible?
A: Samson. He brought the house down.
OFFICES OR RESIDENCE? This grand old 1429-square-foot home is currently in use as an office building, but it would make a fine home. Tastefully remodeled to retain the Old Lodi charm while providing modern convenience (like central heat and air). Half a block from Hutchins Street Square! Three offices plus kitchen, bonus area and small basement. 228 South Hutchins, Lodi. $489,950.
ON THE WINE TRAIL…5201 East Woodbridge Road is a showplace! Rambling colorful landscaped grounds surround a charming home. Call for details! $724,950.
MY NEW LISTING at 2809 White Oak Way is already getting a lot of interest! 2108 square feet of custom Entzei-built home on an oversized lot with a beautiful back yard! This is one Park West home you won’t want to miss seeing. $569,950.
DEADLINE! Gotta go. Have a great week! See you next Sat.
